  • Abstract
    The synthetic aspect of designing a computer architecture is particularly evident when the design is highly constrained from two independent directions. Floating-point extensions of the MC68000 architecture incorporate the IEEE Proposed Floating-point Standard into the existing MC68000 architecture.
